Time for another Weird and Wonderful Word of the Day:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
rawky

a rare adjective which means 'foggy, damp, and cold,' as in a rawky day or rawky weather. It comes from roke, a dialect word for mist, fog, or drizzly rain.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brrrrrr.

We haven't had any rawky weather lately, it has been cold, but mostly sunny and very nice.

Strindberg, eh? A refined member of the sapien species he was. Too bad he was a swede. He makes the rest of us look bad in the eyes of those who can't see we're all individuals.

But the desolation quote came from Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums.

Strindberg was well acquainted with Kerouac; he read the literature of the future in his dreams, although he tended to confuse it with his own writing. "Too bad he was a Swede"...quoting Jusuh?

Strindberg makes most of us look stupid. Jusuh does not. 😀 I would have preferred it if Jusuh was a swede and Strindberg a fin. If I was in to that kind of thing. Which I have obviously never been. And Jusuh is ok too, see? I'm just not as intelligent as the telephone ring. Also, I'm made of tins.

I make myself look rather stupid, don't I? 😀 😵

I decided to take it as a compliment to keep my self esteem high, so no... I won't. 😀

It's "sapiens", not "sapien".

I never said I was a refined member of the sapiens species. I'm sure Strindberg would have gotten that right, though. 🙂

I just pointed it out to help you keep your image. Of course you were doing quite well on your own, but some people might not have noticed it.
